So basically 3.75" stuff only (maybe GG, maybe Sideshow premium) and then I'll have to see what Canadian retail is. I know our single cards are bound to be $9.99 and I can tolerate that, but the deluxe scare me. If they're double, I'll go via onlne ordering in the US. I'd guess for that first day I'll grab what I find reasonable around here, but I doubt our distribution will be like the US situation. Which is normal for us.

(If there is a TON of stuff though, I may just nab army builders like the Russians as they're already getting attention from the 1:18 military crowd since we have no Russian figures, and the uniforms match up pretty good to WW2 Russians... The other basic hero/villains from Wave 2 may get a pass if they're wildly abundant and I'll wait for sales or promos.)

3.75" Vehicles___ Cargo Truck - Yes, may get 3 to use a couple with my 1:18 military figures. My artillery crews need an ammo truck.___ Troop Car - Yes, maybe get a couple actually and hopefully cast MG's to replace the BFG on it. Might repaint a couple to a more DAK realistic color and add accurate decals to it, etc.

Other Stuff - Not interested___ Taters of the Lost Ark ___ Role Play Whip

So basically I'm buying a lot of Raiders, gonna pick/choose KotCS, and definitely getting vehicles... Multiples of anything army builder-ish for certain, including the truck, car, and motorbike. I may wait on almost all the Deluxe but the bike though, and the 2-packs.

I also may skip the single-pack German for the 2-pack since they look like they're the same with the 2-pack having a green jacket variant (like Indy narfs his uniform on the U-Boat island).

KotCS army builders I"m definitely in on just so I finally have something other than US/German on my military shelf... They'll go unarmed till I can find PPSH or Nagant rifles for them.

The Marion figure is dumb too... There's a 2-pack with an army builder, why buy Marion carded then?

Are you guys going out late to look? I'm thinking about heading out around midnight just to see what WM's putting out, if anything.

Whatever 3 3/4" Jacketed Indy I like best (can't tell right now which one--don't need seven or eight Indys in my collection)Anything from Crystal Skull--until after I see itDeluxe Indy with Ark (I'll know after 4/25)Vehicles: Clearance. Probably.12": Clearance. Deep, deep clearance--and only then for that bitchin' mail-in ArkMighty Muggs--only the Mola Ram, and probably only then on clearance

I'll give this a go. Looking at what I plan on buying though, and adding it up quick, it looks like over $200 on May 1st - and I don't think I can do that. I might be spreading this out more, or passing on some things I originally planned on getting. I'm still on the fence with vehicles, just due to the space issue for displaying them. I used to think I'd just be happy with a SA Indy figure, so the rest of this is just gravy I guess.

I'm assuming that everyone here probably knows about this already, but in case someone doesn't--Target has a coupon for $5 off any toy purchase of $25 or more. It's good until the first of October. Here's a link where you can print four of them out on one piece of paper:

I'm planning on using a bunch of these during the launch and throughout the rest of the summer.

So, is everyone here heading out right away on Thursday morning - or waiting until the weekend? I thought about going out that morning, but I'm wondering if everything will be out right away or not. Aside from the ROTS toy release, our Targets seem to just "get to it when we get to it" with movie merchandise (Spidey, Transformers, and Iron man come to mind) - and I'm wondering if it will be out right away that day or not. WM is the same way (they still only have the exclusive Iron Man repaint figure and nothing else from that line). TRU seems to be a bit better, although a big chunk of their store seems to be dedicated to Speed Racer right now, so we'll see.

Anyways, with the recent 20% off/free shipping code, I went ahead and placed an order for the Raiders Adventure Hero sets. They don't ship until later in May, according to the site, but I can wait if it means I can get them for $4.79 a pack (if the code holds for "preordered" stuff). I'm considering doing the same thing with the deluxes I want, and just going out shopping for the basic figs next week. That would make the "one day spending" look a lot nicer to the Mrs.
